She likes small cars, but would consider an A class or 147 with a
1.6ish engine, rather than a dinky engined smart/aygo.
A160 auto, lots around with toys and designo interiors etc. Avoid the
panoramic sunroof (bitch to fix when it goes wrong).
Original W168 (pre 2005) is the "rollover" machine, that doesn't roll over -
I drove one for a year and it never came close. Ride is terrible but it does
the job. Suspension droplinks are a consumable item. Autos are good. Avoid
the AKS
semi-manual-semi-auto-clutchless-oh-lets-not-start-that-argument-again
gearbox unless you're getting a main dealer warranty too.
W169 (new shape) is much better. Decent ride.
